Remove the old driveway
The worn existing driveway was stripped out so we could assess the full frontage and rebuild it properly rather than paving over the problem.

BEFORE
The old driveway had to come out.
These original site photographs show the worn frontage before excavation began.
THE WORK
What went into the finish.
Build a new foundation
A new compacted sub-base was installed across the driveway to create the stable foundation the finished block paving depends on.
Set the levels and edges
The entrance, house line, side access and existing walls were carefully tied together before the main paving was laid.
Lay and finish the paving
Rustic Gold Sorrento blocks were laid across the frontage with a darker border. We brushed kiln-dried sand into the joints and compacted the paving, topping up the sand for a clean finish.
WHY THE GROUNDWORK MATTERS
The blocks are only as good as the base beneath them.
Rustic Gold Sorrento blocks and a charcoal border frame this finished frontage. Explore our driveway installation service in Meanwood to compare block paving and SMA tarmac for your home.
A new sub-base and corrected levels provide the foundation beneath the paving.
